TWO DEEP WELLS.
Sandstone Found at . Depth of Over Thre
Thousand Feet.

Sandstone Found at Q Depth of Over Three
Thousand Feet.
A firm of silk manufacturers at
Northampton, Mass, about two years
ago began sinking an artesian well
there. 1t has now reached depth of
$40 feet. All but 200 feet of the
oring has been through sandstone.
hen the sandstone was reached it
was thought that at a depth of $50 feet
that would be the last of it, but when
this depth had been attained and the
sandstone still continued it was then
predicted that by the time the drill
had gone down 1880 feet it would be
through the stratum, but not so; and
again another prediction was in order,
and 1.5OO was the depth named. But
now the best biologists are at a loss
what to say, for the question how far
The sandstone does extend is conun-
drum which they ''give up" Prof.
Emerson of Amherst College and other
eminent biologists declare that it is
impossible to tell any thing about it.
MIR. Haskell. the solicitor of the North
American Mining Company, which is
sinking the well, has brought the mat
ter before the biologists of the Boston
School of Technology, and they do not
attempt to give any theory which
affords any encouragement as to how
far it will probably be necessary to go
down before getting through with the
sandstone. The theory is that the
sandstone is the deposit of a vast river
current in the past ages, and therefore
it is difficult to arrive at any conclusion
as to what the depth of this deposit
may be. The well is now the deepest
in the country, and, with one or two
exceptions. the deepest in the world.
There is one at St. Louis $3.50 feet in
depth, which flows seventy-five gallons

ORIGIN OF TROUSERS.


When the Present style Of UnRsntio0Able0
Was First Used.
Trousers came into use for general
wear with the French revolution. The
gentleman. the supporter of royalty
and sound constitutional principles,
wore breeches. The term ''sans Gu
lottes" sufficiently explained what were
not worn by the masses who forced
constitutional reform into revolution.
By an apparent contradiction of pur-
pose and principle the ''sans culottes"
who denounced every one who wore
breeches finally went beyond their op-
ponents and wore twice as much cloth
AROUND their legs; in a word, adopted
the modern trousers and made them
the badge of party as well known as
a class. Napoleon, who was too thin
at one period Of his life and too stout
at another to look his best in small
clothes. nevertheless wore them on
state occasions after he had set up q
throne and gone into the Emperor
business His army was the first that
wore trousers, and trousers made pro-
gress in general adoption step by step
with the march of the French army.
The French trousers and neat gaiter
were seen in Egypt, in Spain, in Italy,
IN Germany, in Poland and Russia, on
the banks of the Tagus and those of
the Vistula. People thought that the
manner in which a great conquering
nation clad its legs was the model. and
when the trOusers-wearers marched
over the wearers of pigtails and knee
breeches at Jean and Auerstadt, a de-
cision was given from which the world
did not care to appeal. The world is
usually easily convinced of the wisdom
of the victor. England stood out the
longest against trousers, but finally
she yielded. and her army marched to
Waterloo wearing the universal leg
tunnels. Our grandfathers generally
fell in with the ways of the world,
though Federalists here and there
would not yield. There is story of a
clergyman who, greeted with the
rough inquiry. "How are You, priest?"
responded: ''How are You. Democrat?
How do you know I'm priest?" by
your dress. How do you know I'm a
Democrat p ''By your address"
Doubtless the clergyman wore knee
breeches, while the admirer of Jeffer-
son and dangerous French princi-
ples," clothed his legs with trousers

quality has been found sufficient to en-
